In this notebook, some template code has already been provided for you, and you will need to implement additional functionality to successfully complete this project. You will not need to modify the included code beyond what is requested. Sections that begin with '(IMPLEMENTATION)' in the header indicate that the following block of code will require additional functionality which you must provide. Instructions will be provided for each section, and the specifics of the implementation are marked in the code block with a 'TODO' statement. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully!
Note: Once you have completed all of the code implementations, you need to finalize your work by exporting the Jupyter Notebook as an HTML document. Before exporting the notebook to html, all of the code cells need to have been run so that reviewers can see the final implementation and output. You can then export the notebook by using the menu above and navigating to File -> Download as -> HTML (.html). Include the finished document along with this notebook as your submission.
In addition to implementing code, there will be questions that you must answer which relate to the project and your implementation. Each section where you will answer a question is preceded by a 'Question X' header. Carefully read each question and provide thorough answers in the following text boxes that begin with 'Answer:'. Your project submission will be evaluated based on your answers to each of the questions and the implementation you provide.
Note: Code and Markdown cells can be executed using the Shift + Enter keyboard shortcut. Markdown cells can be edited by double-clicking the cell to enter edit mode.
The rubric contains optional "Stand Out Suggestions" for enhancing the project beyond the minimum requirements. If you decide to pursue the "Stand Out Suggestions", you should include the code in this Jupyter notebook.
In this notebook, you will make the first steps towards developing an algorithm that could be used as part of a mobile or web app. At the end of this project, your code will accept any user-supplied image as input. If a dog is detected in the image, it will provide an estimate of the dog's breed. If a human is detected, it will provide an estimate of the dog breed that is most resembling. The image below displays potential sample output of your finished project (... but we expect that each student's algorithm will behave differently!).

In this real-world setting, you will need to piece together a series of models to perform different tasks; for instance, the algorithm that detects humans in an image will be different from the CNN that infers dog breed. There are many points of possible failure, and no perfect algorithm exists. Your imperfect solution will nonetheless create a fun user experience!
We break the notebook into separate steps. Feel free to use the links below to navigate the notebook.
Make sure that you've downloaded the required human and dog datasets:
Download the dog dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in this project's home directory, at the location /dogImages.
Download the human dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in the home directory, at location /lfw.
Note: If you are using a Windows machine, you are encouraged to use 7zip to extract the folder.
In the code cell below, we save the file paths for both the human (LFW) dataset and dog dataset in the numpy arrays human_files and dog_files.
import numpy as np
from glob import glob
from PIL import ImageFile
ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True
# load filenames for human and dog images
human_files = np.array(glob("lfw/*/*"))
dog_files = np.array(glob("dogImages/*/*/*"))
# print number of images in each dataset
print('There are %d total human images.' % len(human_files))
print('There are %d total dog images.' % len(dog_files))
In this section, we use OpenCV's implementation of Haar feature-based cascade classifiers to detect human faces in images.
OpenCV provides many pre-trained face detectors, stored as XML files on github. We have downloaded one of these detectors and stored it in the haarcascades directory. In the next code cell, we demonstrate how to use this detector to find human faces in a sample image.
import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
# extract pre-trained face detector
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml')
# load color (BGR) image
img = cv2.imread(human_files[0])
# convert BGR image to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# find faces in image
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)
# print number of faces detected in the image
print('Number of faces detected:', len(faces))
# get bounding box for each detected face
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
# add bounding box to color image
cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
# convert BGR image to RGB for plotting
cv_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
# display the image, along with bounding box
plt.imshow(cv_rgb)
plt.show()
Before using any of the face detectors, it is standard procedure to convert the images to grayscale. The detectMultiScale function executes the classifier stored in face_cascade and takes the grayscale image as a parameter.
In the above code, faces is a numpy array of detected faces, where each row corresponds to a detected face. Each detected face is a 1D array with four entries that specifies the bounding box of the detected face. The first two entries in the array (extracted in the above code as x and y) specify the horizontal and vertical positions of the top left corner of the bounding box. The last two entries in the array (extracted here as w and h) specify the width and height of the box.
We can use this procedure to write a function that returns True if a human face is detected in an image and False otherwise. This function, aptly named face_detector, takes a string-valued file path to an image as input and appears in the code block below.
# returns "True" if face is detected in image stored at img_path
def face_detector(img_path):
img = cv2.imread(img_path)
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)
return len(faces) > 0
Question 1: Use the code cell below to test the performance of the face_detector function.
human_files have a detected human face? dog_files have a detected human face? Ideally, we would like 100% of human images with a detected face and 0% of dog images with a detected face. You will see that our algorithm falls short of this goal, but still gives acceptable performance. We extract the file paths for the first 100 images from each of the datasets and store them in the numpy arrays human_files_short and dog_files_short.
Answer: (You can print out your results and/or write your percentages in this cell) Percentage of human faces detected in human dataset is 96 and percent of human faces detected in dog dataset is 18
from tqdm import tqdm

for dog in dog_files_short:

exception_list.append(dog)
print('Percentage of humans detected in human dataset is '+str(human_detected_in_humans_counter)+' and Percentage of human face detected in dog dataset is '+str(human_detected_in_dogs_counter) )
We suggest the face detector from OpenCV as a potential way to detect human images in your algorithm, but you are free to explore other approaches, especially approaches that make use of deep learning :). Please use the code cell below to design and test your own face detection algorithm. If you decide to pursue this optional task, report performance on human_files_short and dog_files_short.

In this section, we use a pre-trained model to detect dogs in images.
The code cell below downloads the VGG-16 model, along with weights that have been trained on ImageNet, a very large, very popular dataset used for image classification and other vision tasks. ImageNet contains over 10 million URLs, each linking to an image containing an object from one of 1000 categories.
import torch
import torchvision.models as models
# define VGG16 model
VGG16 = models.vgg16(pretrained=True)
# check if CUDA is available
use_cuda = torch.cuda.is_available()
# move model to GPU if CUDA is available
if use_cuda:
VGG16 = VGG16.cuda()
print(use_cuda)
Given an image, this pre-trained VGG-16 model returns a prediction (derived from the 1000 possible categories in ImageNet) for the object that is contained in the image.
In the next code cell, you will write a function that accepts a path to an image (such as 'dogImages/train/001.Affenpinscher/Affenpinscher_00001.jpg') as input and returns the index corresponding to the ImageNet class that is predicted by the pre-trained VGG-16 model. The output should always be an integer between 0 and 999, inclusive.
Before writing the function, make sure that you take the time to learn how to appropriately pre-process tensors for pre-trained models in the PyTorch documentation.

VGG16_predict(dog_files_short[0])
While looking at the dictionary, you will notice that the categories corresponding to dogs appear in an uninterrupted sequence and correspond to dictionary keys 151-268, inclusive, to include all categories from 'Chihuahua' to 'Mexican hairless'. Thus, in order to check to see if an image is predicted to contain a dog by the pre-trained VGG-16 model, we need only check if the pre-trained model predicts an index between 151 and 268 (inclusive).
Use these ideas to complete the dog_detector function below, which returns True if a dog is detected in an image (and False if not).
### returns "True" if a dog is detected in the image stored at img_path

Now that we have functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, we need a way to predict breed from images. In this step, you will create a CNN that classifies dog breeds. You must create your CNN from scratch (so, you can't use transfer learning yet!), and you must attain a test accuracy of at least 10%. In Step 4 of this notebook, you will have the opportunity to use transfer learning to create a CNN that attains greatly improved accuracy.
We mention that the task of assigning breed to dogs from images is considered exceptionally challenging. To see why, consider that even a human would have trouble distinguishing between a Brittany and a Welsh Springer Spaniel.
| Brittany | Welsh Springer Spaniel |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
It is not difficult to find other dog breed pairs with minimal inter-class variation (for instance, Curly-Coated Retrievers and American Water Spaniels).
| Curly-Coated Retriever | American Water Spaniel |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
Likewise, recall that labradors come in yellow, chocolate, and black. Your vision-based algorithm will have to conquer this high intra-class variation to determine how to classify all of these different shades as the same breed.
| Yellow Labrador | Chocolate Labrador | Black Labrador |
|---|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
We also mention that random chance presents an exceptionally low bar: setting aside the fact that the classes are slightly imabalanced, a random guess will provide a correct answer roughly 1 in 133 times, which corresponds to an accuracy of less than 1%.
Remember that the practice is far ahead of the theory in deep learning. Experiment with many different architectures, and trust your intuition. And, of course, have fun!
Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dogImages/train, dogImages/valid, and dogImages/test, respectively).

Question 3: Describe your chosen procedure for preprocessing the data.
Answer: Image was resized to 244x244 to make size consistent and was normalized according to pretrained network standards. In addition to these, data Augmentation was introduced in training dataset with random rotation of 30 and random horizontal flip to account for object orientation variations.

Question 4: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step.
Answer: Network is a basic CNN model with 5 convolution layers each increasing channel depth by 2 and each subsequent pooling layer that reduces dim by 2. Each convolution and is activated by relu and then supplied to pooling layer. After each pooling layer batchnormalization is applied to fasten the training and help network generalize over different distributions of pixels. With Batch normalisation accuracy of model was seen to be increasing in every epoch. Batch Normalisation was prescribed by many blog posts that I read to get a literature survey. At the end of convolution layers, averagepool2d layer was applied which converts DxHxW to Dx1x1 , extracts the essential information and reduces dimensionality. The idea was inspired from inception net v3 implementation. Optimizer is Adam optimizer as it dynamically changes lr. And small lr of 0.01 was selected. With added functionalities of batch normalization and averagepooling, accuracy of scratch built model seem to improve till 52% in 50 epochs. Training was done on GTX1080 personal gaming rig to save GPU hours on Udacity and to able to experiment more with CUDA efficiency. Also the criterion is crossentropy loss which combines logsoftmax on input predictions and implements Negative log loss function.Which obviates the need to convert output predictions using any softmax.
Use the next code cell to specify a loss function and optimizer. Save the chosen loss function as criterion_scratch, and the optimizer as optimizer_scratch below.

You will now use transfer learning to create a CNN that can identify dog breed from images. Your CNN must attain at least 60% accuracy on the test set.
Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dogImages/train, dogImages/valid, and dogImages/test, respectively).
If you like, you are welcome to use the same data loaders from the previous step, when you created a CNN from scratch.

Use transfer learning to create a CNN to classify dog breed. Use the code cell below, and save your initialized model as the variable model_transfer.
import torchvision.models as models
import torch.nn as nn
use_cuda = torch.cuda.is_available()
## TODO: Specify model architecture
model_transfer = models.inception_v3(pretrained=True , aux_logits=False)
for param in model_transfer.parameters():
param.require_grad = False
model_transfer.fc = nn.Linear(2048, 133)
if use_cuda:
model_transfer = model_transfer.cuda()
Question 5: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step. Describe why you think the architecture is suitable for the current problem.
Answer: As we know higher level features extraction using big newtworks and limited data is not possible on local machine we use transfer learning to get pretrained networks's feature extraction and apply it to local fc net with custom outputs. I chose google's inception v3 because it was trained on imagenet data and can categorize upto 1000 objects which includses dogs as well. Making it ideal to get dog's higher level features. Inception v3 has a performance better than resnet15 and little lesser than resnet 101. I tried using resnet 101 but my local gpu is unfortunately has only 8gb of vram which is not sufficient to run resnet 101. Thus Inception v3 with size lesser than resnet 101 performs faster in training. But delivers 87% of accuracy. After which accuracy stops growing.
Steps:
Get pretrained inception v3
Freeze all parameters of v3
Replace last fc layer with custom nn.Linear(in_features, 133(#dog breeds))
RMSProp and CrossEntropyLoss were used (SGD vs Adam vs RMSProp , Rmsprop gave best results)
Transform in data loaders were edited to resize images to 299 as required by the net
Net was trained for 20 then 20 epochs.
Use the next code cell to specify a loss function and optimizer. Save the chosen loss function as criterion_transfer, and the optimizer as optimizer_transfer below.
import torch.optim as optim
criterion_transfer = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
optimizer_transfer = optim.RMSprop(model_transfer.fc.parameters(), lr=0.001)
#scheduler = optim.lr_scheduler.ReduceLROnPlateau(optimizer_transfer, 'min')
Train and validate your model in the code cell below. Save the final model parameters at filepath 'model_transfer.pt'.
# train the model
model_transfer = train(5, loaders_transfer, model_transfer, optimizer_transfer, criterion_transfer, use_cuda, 'model_transfer')
# load the model that got the best validation accuracy (uncomment the line below)
#model_transfer.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_transfer.pt'))
model_transfer.fc.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_transfer_min.pt'))
Try out your model on the test dataset of dog images. Use the code cell below to calculate and print the test loss and accuracy. Ensure that your test accuracy is greater than 60%.
test(loaders_transfer, model_transfer, criterion_transfer, use_cuda)
Write a function that takes an image path as input and returns the dog breed (Affenpinscher, Afghan hound, etc) that is predicted by your model.

Write an algorithm that accepts a file path to an image and first determines whether the image contains a human, dog, or neither. Then,
You are welcome to write your own functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, but feel free to use the face_detector and dog_detector functions developed above. You are required to use your CNN from Step 4 to predict dog breed.
Some sample output for our algorithm is provided below, but feel free to design your own user experience!

In this section, you will take your new algorithm for a spin! What kind of dog does the algorithm think that you look like? If you have a dog, does it predict your dog's breed accurately? If you have a cat, does it mistakenly think that your cat is a dog?
Test your algorithm at least six images on your computer. Feel free to use any images you like. Use at least two human and two dog images.
Question 6: Is the output better than you expected :) ? Or worse :( ? Provide at least three possible points of improvement for your algorithm.
Answer: (Three possible points for improvement) Output is as expected as training dataset. Dog breed detection is 80% accurate. While human face detection is 100% when tested on given dataset. When tested on custom images, it correctly classifies humans and random pictures which are neither human nor dogs. As I don't have much information on dogs breeds I supplied pretty much clear images of the two breeds which were classified correctly. Images linked in this notebook were also sent into the program and as expected it got confused American Water Spaniel with Curly Coated Retriever.
Possible Improvments : Entire Inception net can be retrained just with dog data. But much more amount of data will be required and lot of computation power. Reducing the noise in data by taking more clear pictures or removing other background noise. Other types of nets, lr, optimizers could be experimented with. I tried deepening the classifier net but it perfomed best with single layer. Consensus of different types of algorithms can be taken while deciding whether the image is correctly identified or not. For eg, facenet and face detection using opencv can both be polled to decide conclusively whether image has human face or not.
